Chapter 113: Conspiracy and Conspiracy
The love in the world is really difficult to distinguish, and you don't know the heart of the person. Vanity Fair is like a tiger's den, avoiding conspiracy and calculation, and avoiding relatives. Day and night, we need to guard against both edges, and work hard to operate. Always only for the throne, I don't know the gold in the sea.
The decline of the Gotsugaku royal family did not happen overnight. From its founding king to the current King Lu, although he has a lot of financial support, he has been going downhill in terms of family strength. A hundred years ago, Lu Lin, who was known as the first cultivator of the Wuyue Kingdom, the great-grandfather of Princess Lingyi, although he was called a retreat, he had already disappeared. In such a world where strength is respected, if it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of King Lu, the unity of the soldiers, and the support of loyal ministers such as Mugu, Qizhi, and the Yang family, I am afraid that the dynasty would have changed long ago.
It is precisely because of this that the royal family made a desperate bet when the monuments of the Western Regions appeared two years ago, and invested great manpower and material resources, in order to allow the princess to get the inheritance of the ancient family. It's a pity that not only did the inheritance not get it, but even the old man Mugu, the national teacher, died in vain during the expedition.
Without the umbrella of the old man Mugu and many elite guards, the royal family can be said to be a big loss of vitality this time. Nowadays, Wuyue is in danger of domestic and foreign troubles, and people with intentions are already planning to use this decade-long family competition to overthrow the royal family and seize the throne in one fell swoop!
It is said that Yang Rui and the others were in the bathing pavilion with Princess Lingyi, and they only thought of leaving when they played until the end of the day. Especially the little girl who likes to be clean, she simply loves this orchid bath, and she looks like she is still interested until she changes her clothes. It's just that for the sake of that fifth-level rune array scroll, the first test of that rune array master is really important. Under the repeated urging of the white fox girl, several people hurriedly said goodbye to Jing Shao. Hurriedly rushed to the Haiyuan Pavilion.
Looking at the young man and the others leaving in a hurry, Jing Shao's smiling expression suddenly sank, waved his hand and retreated to the attendants beside him, turned back to the courtyard alone, walked to an inconspicuous wing, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he pushed open the door and flashed in.
The doors and windows of the wing room were blocked by curtains, leaving only a glimmer of light, and it was vaguely discernible that there were three people sitting among them, each of whom was covered by a black cloak. Seeing Jing Shao coming in, one of them lowered his voice and asked, "Yang Rui from the Yang Mansion in Jiaocheng has been missing for more than two years. This time, it suddenly appeared in the national capital. As you observe. Will he affect our plans?"
Jing Shao shook his head and said: "He didn't know where he had been training in the past two years, although his physique was okay, he was pitifully weak in cultivation. That alone won't affect our plans. It's just that the woman next to him makes me a little incomprehensible, and I don't know what the strength is. The black-robed man said: "I don't think the beauty in the emerald sleeve Hunan skirt seems to have much force." But that little girl is a master of the Yuan Dan Realm. And the dried corpse beside her doesn't seem to be weak. ”
Another slightly taller black-robed man said, "I have been observing that kid from the Yang family for many years. I always feel that he is a little strange, and he is easy to make friends with all kinds of people. Although it doesn't look good now, it will definitely be a big problem for the organization in the future. If only it could be removed. It's better to get rid of it sooner!"
A black-robed man beside him snorted softly when he heard this: "Zhong Ziqi, you didn't listen to the organization's arrangement in Jiaocheng that time, and killed Yang Rui's mother in advance. It is small for him to expose his identity, if Yang Ye is allowed to send someone to Fucha Country in time to report the news, so that the plan to organize the extermination of the Fang family fails, it is not as simple as the execution. After a pause, he looked around and said, "For Yang Rui's organization, it has its own arrangements, not our task this time, so we can't make extraneous branches!"
The black-robed man known as Zhong Ziqi was the fifth child who was lurking in the Iron Fist mercenary group back then, and the murderer who killed his mother when Yang Rui was six years old. Wen Yan hurriedly nodded yes, and one hand couldn't help touching his thigh, as if he was trembling slightly because of that painful memory. He secretly said in his heart: "According to the rules of the organization, only the Inspector knows everyone's names in each action, and the rest act separately. This time, the overseer is not as old as me, so I don't know what kind of person he is, but he must have been in the organization for as long as me. actually called my name in front of so many people, obviously not taking me as a senior in his eyes. Hmph, beware of capsizing in the gutter, and being punished like me!"
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard the black-robed man on the other side say: "The little girl who stirs trouble next to Yang Rui has reached the peak of the Yuan Dan realm at a young age. If she participates in the tournament as a foreign aid, it is a variable. The Inspector said, "It's okay, a martial artist at the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm can't control our plans yet." In short, you just let Jack Ma do everything in his power to prevent the princess from reaching the finals. According to the laws of the Goyue Kingdom, as long as the finalists are finalists, their families have the right to share part of the kingdom's military and financial resources. In this family competition, if the royal family fails to make it to the finals, they can only give up the right to deploy the 100,000 forbidden troops. At that time, Jing Shao will force King Lu to abdicate in the name of the Jing clan, so that the Wuyue Kingdom can be under the jurisdiction of the organization. The black-robed man said: "Although Yang Rui and the people around him don't have to worry, the Yang family behind him has military power, and they have been loyal to the royal family for generations, so they have to guard against it." The superintendent said: "Although the Yang family has military power in their hands, most of them are on the frontier. Now there is a three-million-strong army of Hachi on the other side of the frontier, and it is precisely because of itself that it is too busy to take care of itself. It's not a cause for concern. ”
Jing Shaodao: "Well, the Jing clan and the Lu clan have been related by marriage since ancient times, and if I come forward to force the palace, there will not be much resistance among the people." It's just that there are still two Zhou and Wu families in Wuyue Kingdom who have a lot of influence, but I'm afraid that there will be objections to the distribution of royal power at that time. ”
Before the words fell, he only heard the black-robed man on the other side laugh and said, "Nephew Jingxian, you don't have to worry about the martial family! As for the Zhou family...... They have always been at odds with the royal family, and when the time comes, you and I will come forward, and no matter how much we guarantee their interests, I believe there will not be too many objections. If it's blocked, just get rid of it!"
Jing Shao was shocked when he heard this: "You are ......" The black-robed man pondered for a while, and suddenly lifted his cloak and said: "Since we are working together, I, Wu, am not afraid to show my true face! Can Jingxian's nephew recognize who I am?" Jing Shao looked at it and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the head of the martial arts family, and the martial artist of Wu Feng, known as the Tiangang Sword. Disrespectful!
Wu Feng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Nephew Jingxian, can you act with peace of mind when you see me?" Jing Shao smiled: "Looking at what the martial predecessors said, there are two families of Jingwu who have come forward. These five countries have long been in the bag. Where are you worried?" Wu Feng said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, Jing Shao will be the king of my Wuyue Kingdom, and our martial arts family will rely on you a lot!"
Jing Shaodao: "This time I acted only for the incompetence of the royal family to empty the throne, and I, Jing Yixuan, dared to be the king? Wu Feng said: "Jing Shao doesn't have to be modest, I know your strength." Just like the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, it is also the time for you to show your ambitions! Men are ambitious, informal, and hope that virtuous nephews do not shirk in royal power. Hearing this, Jing Shao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yixuan listens to the words of his predecessors, and it is better to read books for ten years." In this way, I will thank my predecessors for their support. After the deed is done, there will be a reward!" After thinking about it, he said: "But just now, Yang Rui said that he would rush to participate in the Fu Array Master Selection Conference. It reminds me that this year's appraiser is the honorary president of the Fu Array Guild, the white-robed Fengzhong. I don't know if the man will stop him then. ”
The superintendent said: "Don't worry about this! Feng Zhong has no friendship with the Wuyue royal family. Although I don't know how the royal family invited an old monster like him this time, this change of royal power is an internal matter of the Wuyue Kingdom, and the Fu Array Guild has no right to ask. And the organization raised carefully this time, for the fifth-level rune array scroll. Several high-level rune array masters were specially selected to infiltrate the Wuyue Kingdom to participate in the selection meeting. He is a conspiracy. This is a conspiracy. Complement one another. At that time, that old guy will be restrained by someone, but I'm afraid that even if he has the intention to interfere, he will be incapable of doing it!"
"Oh, those high-level rune array masters don't know what their strength is?" Zhong Ziqi said: "That kid from the Yang family also went to participate in the selection conference, so don't have any accidents then." ”
Hearing this, the Inspector suddenly said sharply: "Hmph! At least you won't lose to Yang Rui! You just overestimate him too much to make mistakes." I have never heard of anything special about Yang Rui. It's just a clever kid who can't make a big deal. Just now, I played in the courtyard of the bathing pavilion and the tent pot, and it is not known whether it will even catch up with the first test. Besides, this is another group of people's business, and it has nothing to do with us!
Everyone should have heard it. That Zhong Ziqi touched his nose with a mouth again, and said secretly in his heart: "This superintendent tried his best to belittle Yang Rui in his mouth, why is there a little sour taste in those words, isn't it that he has also eaten deflated in the hands of that Yang family boy? Hehe, I'll just shut up and do things, and see what the result of this operation is." ”
Syllable!
As a few people were talking, there was a sudden sound outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps! The overseer was the first to notice, and hurriedly motioned for everyone to silence, and glanced at Jing Shao to let him go out to explore. Jing Shao immediately realized that he was out of the wing, and when he went to the courtyard, it turned out that Zhou Gongzi was leading a group of subordinates to go out, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi is going back? There is a lot of offense at the gate this morning, and I hope Haihan! If you don't give up, how about staying and drinking with me at night?"
Zhou Qiao also saluted: "This is Jing Shao's territory, so naturally it is up to Jing Shao to say it." Thanks to the hospitality, I have something to do today, and I'll come back to drink another day!" After speaking, he ignored Jing Shao and led everyone to continue to walk out of the door.
Jing Shao smiled and shook his head, and said in his heart that Gongzi Zhou was still angry about the morning's events, so it was better not to mess with him for the time being. turned around and returned to the wing room, and said to those people: "No one else, it's just that the son's bridge of the Zhou family finished bathing and went out to pass by here." ”
The superintendent was still not at ease, and asked, "How is the son of the Zhou family?" Jing Shao said: "That kid is a guy who gets carried away, and he only knows how to play with women all day long, and he can't achieve anything big." Moreover, he had a quarrel with Yang Rui and the princess in front of the gate of Yutian Pavilion this morning, and he suspected that I was biased towards the princess and was angry with me!" The superintendent said: "That's good, you can also pull Zhou's family when it's convenient, so that the mission is more likely to succeed." Jing Shao smiled and said: "I know the spleen and stomach of that kid in Zhou Qiao, this matter is on me!"
The Inspector nodded and said, "Okay, then we will act according to the plan, and then we will use the cup of the Wu Feng family master in the competition." Now it's all gone!"
Jing Shao, Wu Feng, and Zhong Ziqi were all ordered to retreat, and in the end, only the superintendent was left in the wing. I saw him walk to the window, open the curtain slightly, look in the direction of Haiyuan Pavilion and say to himself: "Snake Yang Rui...... Hehe, if it weren't for the organization's special explanation not to touch you, I really want to teach you a good lesson. I hope you'll be at peace this time. If this mission is threatened, even if there is an order from above, I can cut it first and then play!"
At this moment, a ray of light shined through the window lattice, illuminating the cold and handsome face under the cloak. After all, I don't know if Yang Rui and his party will be able to catch up with the first test of the Haiyuan Pavilion and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
